    Blackened chicken plate
    Susan H.

    Where else does one go on a beautiful Houston day for a quick and affordable lunch on the patio? Well, Willie's of course. I had the blackened chicken with rice and grilled veggies. It was the perfect amount of food and very tasty.

    The pulled pork is in the foreground and the Willies with cheese further back. We both ate the whole thing

    If you look at my recommendations, you'll see that I'm a frequent flier at Willie's Grill & Ice House. It's the favorite place of my 95 year old dad. This visit he had the fried shrimp and I had the Willie with cheese. The food, as always, was excellent and the restaurant was clean and tidy. I typically judge a place on how clean their floors are and willies is alway excellent. Our server was a new server for us, one we'd never seen before. She provided excellent service, but was rather shy. I'm sure working at willies will help her come out of her shell. I would have liked to see her a bit more confident.

    If you're looking for flavorful crawfish with some size don't come here. Taste is way off and they're small Total waste of money

    Service from the lady server was great but the guy with the ear extension earrings was a horrible experience. Dude is bottom of the barrel.

    Christian was a terrific and attentive server. The food was great and the beer cold! It wasn't terribly crowded.

    I've been a regular at Willie's since my friend introduced me to the place almost three years ago. It's my comfort place, from the rustic ambience, to my menu favorites, and the servers that go above and beyond- our favorite is Christian. And since I'm a creature of habit, there are dishes that I love and default to. Unfortunately, I don't have photos of all of them, some I enjoyed and finished eating before I remember to take a photo of. Their fried catfish is one of my go-tos, their French fries are perfectly seasoned and fried, and the coleslaw is just right- beautiful amount of sweetness and not soggy weird. In the summer, they run a good deal on crawfish and crabs. They have this delicious brisket Mac n cheese balls, and some burgers that always hit the spot! And the frozen margarita swirl always delivers. Willie's for me is one of those places for all seasons and reasons- birthday, venting session with my girl, birthday dinner, just-because-I'm- hungry day, lunch, brunch... whatever it is. The manager is goo, the wait staff for the most part are fantastic, and when something goes wrong with the order, they make it right. Just don't ask for coffee, they don't have any. But that's okay. More ritas please!

We received the shrimp & crab relatively fast; perfect texture and flavor. Everything was juicy and easy to peel. Our server forgot our 4lb crawfish order probably because we had been talking flavors etc no biggie it was fixed quickly..... however after our crawfish was rush ordered it came out with dark red shells that were super hard. Generally this is from it being served right after its required boil cook time and NOT soaking for the additional 20-30 minutes needed to soften the shells and soak up the flavor. The crawfish were extremely difficult to peel and many stuck the inside of the shells another indication that it wasn't post soaked. I asked the server to ask the kitchen if our batch had been post soaked or straight from the boiler... he came back letting me know that they told him "well it's the end of the season and that's probably why they're OFF".... this response is utterly insane to me as we eat crawfish several times a week allllllll through the season and 3 places just in last 7 days and they were easy to peel and around the same size as these. It's not the servers fault at all; he offered to bring something else but my husband was already fighting his way through the bag and after the horrible excuse from the kitchen I'm just gonna stop somewhere else on the way home. I'm not ok with wasted food or money as crawfish is a waste when it's stuck in the shells. Please post soak your crawfish as it's such an easy fix.

Because of it's popularity and competitive pricing, this place had a steady stream of people coming in and out. It is a stand alone business in a busy shopping complex so parking can be challenging. This place could be classified as a hole in the wall which isn't a bad thing, but just painting a picture. When you walk in, there's a lobby area that is basically used just to order food and get your drinks and condiments. There's also a hand washing station. Then you have an inside seating area with a bunch of tables packed tight next to each other as well as a patio area outside. Restaurant cleanliness was just ok. We had to clean our own table and staff did their best to clean up after people got up to leave. They do have paper towels readily available. Customer service was ok. The menu is pretty simple here. They have boiled seafood like crawfish, snow crab, Dungeness crab and mussels. You have two flavors to choose from which are Cajun or Cajun garlic butter. You can pick a spice level as well. They also have fried items like catfish, shrimp, and minimal appetizers. If you feel like fried rice, they got that too. That particular day, I wasn't in the peeling mood so I went with the fried shrimp basket. This was a generous portion of fried shrimp and fries which really hit the spot. I liked the corn meal breading on it that was seasoned and gave it just the right amount of crunch. The fries could have been seasoned better, but it was still good. Though I didn't want to peel, my amazing friend peeled one for me and it was delicious. I had instant regrets not getting my own order. You know it's a good boil when you don't really need anything to dip it in and the flavors are just there throughout the crawfish. Overall, a good experience was had. If I am in the mood for some good ole fashion Cajun boil, this will be on my repeat list.
